austinpop Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So far, it seems to be working exactly as expected with Qobuz. Loving it! Don Blas De Lezo 1 My Audio Setup Link to comment
Popular Post austinpop Posted January 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2019 1 hour ago, The Computer Audiophile said: Let us know what you think after giving it a spin. I played around with it for a couple hours late last night. Here are some preliminary impressions: So far I like the new interface changes in Roon. To my eyes, the look and feel has been subtly improved and is quite elegant Qobuz integration is just as you would expect, and similar to Tidal Roon was able to integrate all my Qobuz favorites and playlist with no issues I'm not quite sure how, but some albums from my Qobuz Favorites are already marked as in my library. My expectation was that I would have to add albums to my library, so I am not sure what's going on. It's not a big deal. As @David Craff has indicated a while back, Qobuz is still working to distinguish between the download and streaming resolutions of an album. Just as with its own app, Roon is currently displaying the download resolution, so it can lead to confusion. For example: But this is not a Roon issue, and I'm very hopeful that Qobuz will sort this out soon. Similarly, some albums on Qobuz don't have streaming rights, like this one: On the Qobuz app, these play short 320kbps samples. On Roon, instead of samples I get a "transport error." Again, this will get fixed once Qobuz sorts out its streaming and download designations, so Roon can get the right info. SQ wise, I listened on both Roon and LMS (my up to now Qobuz player) and in my admittedly short listening, I couldn't hear a difference. Of course, this also begs the grand MQA vs. Hi Res Qobuz vs. Hi Res Local comparisons like this: Honestly, haven't we done enough of these already?! I've lost interest. I'd just rather have the hi res version. Period. TAV and left channel 2 My Audio Setup Link to comment
